Asuna's heart grew stronger and stronger.
She is Asuna!
Dangdang! ! !
The blacksmith Nezha kept forging.
"Young lady, I need some more time. You can go and rest in the shade over there," the blacksmith Nezha kindly reminded her.
Asuna smiled sheepishly.
He sat down with Lin Yan on a stone bench not far away.
at this time.
The East Square in Urbas was becoming increasingly lively, bustling with people. Some were there to buy goods, others had other motives, and still others simply came to Urbas to see what was going on.
"I heard that the second level of the strategy will begin soon."
"Yes, the strategy team is really amazing."
Have you heard of the Men in Black?
"You mean the man in black who punished the orange-named player?"
"Yes."
"No one has met him since then."
"I wonder if the men in black will participate in the raid this time."
"I really want to see him in person."
"It can't be a fictional character, can it? It's only been a little over a month since the server opened. Even top-tier players couldn't possibly kill so many orange-named players instantly."
……
I've been hearing a lot about it lately.
As time went on, more and more people believed that external aid was a long way off, and Kayaba Akihiko's statement—
"This can't even be considered a game anymore!"
"Sword Art Online is no longer just a game, but another real world." "There is only one condition that can free you from this game: reach the highest floor of Aincrad, the hundredth floor, and defeat the final demon king waiting there."
As a result, more and more people cheered up.
Especially after the first floor is cleared, the rate of death decreases.
Asuna glanced at Lin Yan cautiously and found that Lin Yan didn't seem to care about the people's talk, and even took a sip of tea with a relaxed expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that...?"

"It must have been more than once, right?" Asuna didn't look away; she smiled and looked at Lin Yan as she spoke.
"Ok?"
Lin Yan didn't react for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.
"You mean these comments? I... I'm actually used to them. Once you get used to them, you don't feel anything about them anymore."
Those deep eyes remained as calm as ever.
Every time Asuna gazed into Lin Yan's eyes, her heart would find an extraordinary calm, no matter how much hardship and suffering she had endured. Asuna kept her eyes fixed on them, as if there was some kind of energy within them that gave her hope.
With light.
"It seems you've been through a lot...it seems..."
Asuna hesitated for a moment.
She knew practically nothing about Lin Yan. The only information she had was that Lin Yan owned an all-powerful shop on the first floor.
It was a mysterious shop with a mysterious owner.
There are many legends about Lin Yan circulating among the people, some of which are even fantastical and amusing.
However, Asuna also believed it.
Sometimes, there's no smoke without fire.
As they spent more time together, Asuna developed a curiosity, or perhaps even an impulse, towards Lin Yan. She wanted to know more about him, and sometimes she felt that invading someone's privacy was an immoral act.
Sometimes, I can't help but think that way.
Where exactly does he come from?
What kind of family does he/she come from?
To attend that kind of school.
What kind of friends do you have?
Even the smallest details, such as what kind of food Lin Yan likes, what kind of seasons and colors he prefers.
When you care about someone, even if it's just a fleeting glance from them.
It can also stir up emotions within us.
"Ah."
Lin Yan nodded.
In truth, Lin Yan already knew Asuna quite well. This included Asuna's background, personality, abilities, and interpersonal relationships, and even her experiences in SAO and the fate and challenges she was about to face.
That is, her future.
"Before I entered SAO, I experienced a war, a very brutal war. One side was too weak, and the other side was too strong. People were slaughtered and crushed... The city was reduced to ruins, the vegetation withered... There were corpses everywhere."
"Everywhere there are displaced people."
"Despair and death are everywhere..."
"Some do it in the name of justice... some do it in the name of freedom..."
Lin Yan began to speak slowly.
Asuna's eyes held not only shock but also deep sympathy. She had thought her experience in SAO was already tragic enough.
Little did I know that such a brutal war existed in the world.
She fell silent.
"Don't look so sad. Humans will not compromise. I mean... even if they are bullied and killed, they will fight back... the war will end sooner or later."
Lin Yan's story is actually about his experiences in the world of Super God.
Whether it's the angelic civilization that claims to be acting in the name of justice or the demons that claim to be acting in the name of freedom, neither of them has the right to interfere with Earth.
Asuna's downcast eyes regained their vitality.
Give a bright smile.
"Yes, it definitely will."

Asuna heard a sharp crack, and turning around in a daze, she saw her longsword break in two, then turn into pieces and disappear.
"what happened."
Asuna stood up and rushed over in one stride.
The blacksmith Nezha looked bewildered, his movements paused briefly, and then he hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I've never failed before, I really never expected this to happen."
"I don't know what happened either, I... I don't know what to do..."
The blacksmith Nezha apologized profusely.
He bowed deeply to Asuna with utmost sincerity.
Asuna's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Her delicate eyebrows were furrowed.
That was a sword she received from Lin Yan, which had accompanied her from the beginning until now, yet she lost it so easily.
That was more than just a weapon.
Instead, it serves as a testament to Asuna's transformation from cowardice to strength.
"how so……"
Asuna couldn't believe it.
Her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Lin Yan watched clearly from the side as the blacksmith Nezha bowed his body deeply, his head lowered, in the most sincere posture.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't want this to happen either. There's nothing I can do, I will do my best."
The blacksmith Nezha kept apologizing.
Asuna was still in a daze.
Urbas's East Square was already bustling with people. Now, an even larger crowd had gathered, all watching intently.
"what happened?"
"do not know……"
"The girl looked like she was about to cry."
"It seems to be the blacksmith's fault..."
"Forging naturally has a failure rate, which is unavoidable. Why insist on being unreasonable?"
At that moment, a particularly striking voice rang out, a voice completely different from those of the others who sympathized with Asuna's plight.
"We're all trapped in SAO, so we should all be understanding of each other, right?"
The man continued speaking.
"I don't think the girl is an unreasonable person. Let's forgive him since he apologized so sincerely."
The man got more and more excited as he spoke.
At that moment, the wind seemed to have shifted.
Some dissenting voices have emerged.
"Yes, you can't be unforgiving when you're in the right. We're all just trying to survive in this world, and it's not easy for anyone."
"Yes, the biggest culprit is..."
"We must unite."
The people were talking, and the crowd gathered in the east square of Urbas seemed to be swayed by the discussions, while the blacksmith Nezha's lips curled into a wicked smile.
His plan is nearing completion.
It can be said to be a sure thing.
Their chatter left Asuna somewhat bewildered; she was simply at a loss and didn't utter a single unnecessary word.
Yet it was described in such an unpleasant way.
She felt very wronged, but didn't know how to express it.
"save……".

"Help me...help me!"
Asuna closed her eyes, desperately wishing someone could help her, someone who could help her, like a small boat adrift on a vast ocean.
